    Other than the world renowned Snottoiler, can anybody else recommend a
    system that does the same job of slinging copious quantities of oil over the
    back wheel?
    I seem to remember that there is an electronic thingy of similar ilk, but
    can't find it about.
    TIA.

    I had one on the Triple and now have one on the Sprint. They just work
    IYSWIM.

    That's the rascal.
    Thanks, I couldn't think of it's name.
    IYHO is it better than a Snottoiler? as I'm looking to put something on my
    new Trophy. I've always had the Snotty on before.
    Cheers.

    I've never owned a snottoiler. AIUI though the oiler can't have the flow
    adjusted, whereas with the Lubetronic, you can set the flow according to
    the conditions.

    So the rotating top on the Scottoiler reservoir marked min..max..prime
    is just for show?

    Perhaps "ICBW", or even "ISTBC" would have been better. For the
    harder of thinking, like.

    So we're not allowed to be slightly sarcastic on UKRM any more?
    I'm so sorry.

    Absolutely ecstatic!
    And may I just say that it isn't a good idea to use a high pressure air
    line into the Scottoiler reservoir filler hole to help prime the system.

    Surely that would depend on where one is standing in relation to the
    egress aperture for the oil? :)

    Nah, just making sure that I'm upholding the spirit of UKRM. I feel I've
    been a bit liberal of late.

  18. Run a search on the McCoi unit, but there is another commercial unit
    which is quite similar in its operation. Neither use 'copious
    quantities of oil', they rely upon precise metering so there just the
    right amount of lube on the chain under all conditions.

    I'm claiming marginal codiene OD for my liberalisms today.

    And don't you go smileying me again, y'hear?

  20. Yes it can
    and being a very simple mechanical device is a lot less likely to fail
    than your over engineered electrical gubbins.
